You won’t believe what I just made, A fused glass wreath. It’s so pretty. It has iridized clear glass to give it sparkle. I also added some green for holly and red for berries. It’s a bit heavy so I’ll have to get a strong wreath hanger. I’m also going […]
Last year I took a great fused glass class from Jodi Rusho and I made some little fused glass star people. But I made the mistake of not including eyes on them. So I just decided add some eyes. Wow what a difference. Aren’t they […]
This month I had another long business trip. I had kind of an interesting start to my trip. The drive down to Montgomery was a a monsoon. Then one of the first days we were there the hotel had an fire evacuation. We also walked […]
Since I made some Halloween fused glass pieces I thought I’d make some Christmas ones too. It takes a while to make Christmas projects. Then I made a couple more Snowmen spoons and a couple of little snowmen dishes. I also made some fused glass […]
In addition to the Alcohol Ink class with Cathy I also got to take Hidden Images 3-D with Cathy Claycomb. Like the first class this class wasn’t a fused glass class either. Again we used Kokomo glass, it’s so pretty, I wish it could be fused without losing it’s beauty. […]
This month I got to take a great class with Cathy Claycomb. It wasn’t a fused glass class. It was completely different. Plus the glass we used was beautiful. I’ve never really used it before, Kokomo glass and it’s not meant to be fused, but it’s so pretty it doesn’t […]

I have a bad habit of not finishing my fused glass jewelry pieces. Specifically not putting the findings on the glass. So while I was TDY to Rhode Island I took some findings and glass cabochons with me. I made some fused glass bookmarks, fused […]
As many of those who follow me know my day job takes me away on business trips (or in Air Force terms – TDY) quite a bit. April was no exception, as I mentioned in my April newsletter I spent a few days in Montgomery. After Montgomery I went back […]
In February I took a glass mosaic class at Full Spectrum in Colorado Springs. This month I decided I’d take another glass mosaic class and this time I bought a friend. Last time it was just tempered glass. This one actually included porcelain. Lela and I had a great time. […]
I normally post about how busy I am, well today I took some time out and had breakfast with friends. Iris and Lela are two of my best friends and I just don’t spend enough time with them. So today we had breakfast and […]
Happy New Year! Every year I do a review of my glass activities. 2017 was a great year for me professionally, family, and in glass. I added more responsibilities at work and I love it. As far as my family life; my daughter graduated High […]
Melanie is another one of my friends and amazing customers. She recently started a new job with foster children in El Paso county. I love children and wanted to support both the children and Melanie. So I donated over a 100 fused glass pendants. I included chains/cords and put them […]
OMG I have had a crazy emotional month. First, my daughter moved into her college dorm. It’s difficult for me I miss her terribly. I’m so happy for her, this is an exciting time of her life. Since I miss her so much I thought […]
